==Bare Minimum Components==

Obtaining these components will require access to EV circuits and epoxid (late HV). This is because you need an internet card to pull the scripts from GitHub (it is possible to create all the files manually and then copy and paste the code from GitHub, but that is not recommended). The CPU and Graphics Card can be replaced by a single APU if you feel so inclined. Both inventory upgrades are necessary.

Lastly, you need a Transvector Binder and Transvector Dislocator which requires some progression in Thaumcraft. ~~However,~~ it is ~~not~~ ~~too~~ ~~deep~~ ~~and completely doable~~ if you ~~are~~ ~~already able~~ to ~~make~~ EV ~~circuits~~ ~~and~~ ~~epoxid.~~ Transvector Dislocator can be found under "Thaumic Tinkerer" ~~and~~ requires ~~the~~ ~~following~~ ~~prerequisites~~ on the same tab~~: Transvector Interface and Smokey Quartz~~. You will also need to complete research on Mirror Magic under "Artifice." For more information, visit ~~https://gtnh.miraheze.org/~~wiki~~/Thaumcraft_Research_Cheatsheet~~.

Lastly, you need a Transvector Binder and Transvector Dislocator which requires some progression in Thaumcraft. Neither are very difficult to craft even if you have yet to start Thaumcraft. In the Thaumonomicon, Transvector Dislocator can be found under "Thaumic Tinkerer" which requires both Transvector Interface and Smokey Quartz on the same tab. You will also need to complete research on Mirror Magic under "Artifice." For more information, visit the [[Thaumcraft Research Cheatsheet]] wiki page.

First note the orientation of the robot sitting atop the OC charger. It must face up towards the right-most column of the working farm. The crop stick chest directly next to the charger can be a few things: any sort of chest, a JABBA barrel, or storage drawer (orientation does not matter). If the crop stick chest is ever empty, bad things will happen. In the image, I have a trash can on the other side of the crop stick chest because I do not want any drops beyond the target crop, but this can be a second chest if you do want random drops. On the same y-level as all of the chests, the transvector dislocator sits facing the top of the blank farmland (where a crop would go). Think of this as a buffer between the working and storage farms. You can tell which direction the transvector dislocator is facing by the side that is animated. The last spot is for a crop-matron which is optional and one y-level lower than the rest of the blocks. It is just to hydrate most of the crops to help them grow a little faster.

'''The location of the water is completely flexible''': they do not have to be in the same locations as in the photo (underneath all five sea lantern slabs) and you can have as many as you would like on both the working farm and storage farm. However, there MUST be a block on top of each water and no two can be next to each other. The block can be literally anything, even a lily pad will work, so long as there is something. It is also possible to use garden soil or fertilized dirt and have absolutely no water on the farms at all, but this will sacrifice a few nutrient stats and bar you from growing crops that require a particular block underneath.

'''The starting crops ~~MUST~~ be placed manually in the checkerboard pattern''' seen in the photo. This layout goes for all three programs. If you cannot fill the entire checkerboard to start, the ''absolute'' ''minimum required is two'' (one as the target crop and the other next to it for crossbreeding). It is not necessary to place empty crop sticks to fill the rest of the checkerboard. The target crop is used by autoStat and autoSpread to identify the crop you want to stat-up or spread to the storage farm, respectively.

If you cannot fill the entire checkerboard to start, the absolute minimum required is two (one as the target crop and the other next to it for crossbreeding). Even worse, if you have just a single seed of a particular crop, it is possible to start with a different crop next to it for crossbreeding (ie. Stickreed). It is not necessary to place empty crop sticks to fill the rest of the checkerboard. The target crop is used by autoStat and autoSpread to identify the crop you want to stat-up or spread to the storage farm, respectively.

==Recommended Crops==

For starters, I recommend statting-up and spreading the following crops because their outputs are useful and not completely overshadowed by bees. Note that every crop has a higher chance of being discovered with specific parent combinations, but it is often easier to discover a crop from crossbreeding at the same tier. For example, diareed ~~apparently~~ has the highest chance of being discovered when the parents are oilberry and bobsyeruncleranks, BUT I recommend just running autoTier with all Tier 12 crops (or autoSpread with keepMutations on in the config). Crops that require a particular block underneath do not need to be fully grown in order to spread. For a full list of crops and their requirements, visit ~~https://gtnh.miraheze.org/~~wiki~~/IC2_Crops_List~~.
